Performance Analysis

The A10 FP32 figure of 31.2 TFLOPS exceeds the Quadro P4000 FP32 figure of 5.3 TFLOPS by a factor of nearly six. This gap determines training and inference throughput for precision formats where the A10 additionally lists FP16 dense performance at 125 TFLOPS. Memory bandwidth of 600 GB/s on the A10 versus 243 GB/s on the Quadro P4000 directly limits sustainable batch sizes during large tensor operations. The A10 further lists INT8 dense performance at 250 TOPS which has no counterpart published for the Quadro P4000.

When to Choose the A10

The A10 suits LLM inference and fine tuning workloads that require 24 GB memory capacity together with 600 GB/s bandwidth. Its 31.2 TFLOPS FP32 rating and 125 TFLOPS FP16 dense rating support higher throughput than the Quadro P4000 can achieve.

When to Choose the Quadro P4000

The Quadro P4000 suits scientific computing tasks where 8 GB memory and 105W TDP meet requirements without excess power draw. Its PCIe 3.0 interconnect remains adequate for lighter FP32 workloads rated at 5.3 TFLOPS.
